Despite Everton's strong start to the season, if Tony Pulis can lead his team to a three-goal victory then Stoke could finish the weekend in fourth position, leapfrogging David Moyes's side in the process. It's a remarkable turn of fortunes for a side who seemed to be struggling in the early stages of the season. Pulis is refusing to rush back Michael Owen, despite the striker turning out in a behind-closed-doors friendly this week. Everton are again without the impressive Kevin Mirallas after a recurrence of his hamstring injury. Toby Moses
